Batch file to Pause/Restart FAH

[Rich]

Problem: I need to pause and resume FAH to run a system backup (otherwise I randomly get a pile of "File not found" msgs.).

This old thread points to a batch file but is incomplete. I can't find a list of commands ("viewtopic..." is meaningless to me). I understand Batch files in Windows.

Currently, there's no intelligence in the client to detect what application is running and modify it's behavior. Best case is you have a batch file which sends the pause command and another one with the unpause command: viewtopic.php?f=89&t=33296"
===================

System Win 11, FAH Client 7.6.21

Any help appreciated.

Code: Select all

FAHClient --send-pause
FAHClient --send-unpause
FAHClient --send-finish
FAHClient --help
FAHClient --send-command help

Edit: sorry, my phone insisted on creating em dashes

Thanks!

Is that a "--" (double dash)?

Old links in the forum were broken when it was transferred to a new host and to a new version of the forum software in April '22. That "viewtopic" is a partial link that should be viewtopic.php?f=89&t=33296. Any of the partial links can be appended to https://foldingforum.org/ and will connect to the original post or topic as long as it still exists on the forum.

And yes, that is a double dash.

Thanks Joe, and that answers my Q about -- or?... it is a --.
Problem solved.
